Did Kirby take the REC with him to Georgia? Seems legit, hope we do this too.

Georgia Governor Nathan Deal signed into law yesterday legislation that will give state university athletic departments an unprecedented right to delay responding to open records requests. This is good news for that state’s biggest programs—new UGA football coach Kirby Smart personally lobbied lawmakers—and bad news for transparency.
As taxpayer-funded institutions, Georgia’s public colleges (including UGA, Georgia Tech, Georgia State, and Georgia Southern) previously had three days to acknowledge requests made under the Freedom of Information Act. Not three days to turn over what reporters were looking for—three days merely to say “we got your request, we’re reviewing it.” Now, thanks to this new law, university athletic programs don’t have to even acknowledge requests for 90 business days, and can commence the usual obfuscation after that.
No other institution in the country, be it an athletic program or the federal government, allows a delay nearly as long as Georgia now does.
quote:
Other SEC states give athletic programs between three and 15 days to respond to FOIA requests. (The exceptions are Florida and Alabama, which require athletic departments to respond in a “reasonable” amount of time.)

Georgia’s lieutenant governor said of the new law, “I hope it brings us a national championship.”

Doesn't matter what UF's policy is on this.
If the UF media gets even a sniff of an athlete being in trouble on any of our teams, they will blast it all over the place.
UF media is one ruthless bunch, and they will blast stories even without confirmation.

what an odd exception to make to a good rule.

The Kirby law is no where as bad as what is going on at FSU, Auburn, Alabama, Florida, etc. Georgia is much more tamed then any other schools. During Richt's era, we were self imposing many rules that hurt us. Richt didn't have the balls to make any changes. That is the difference.

What's this got to do with responding to public records requests?

Same question as above.

I hope it's not made up and 100% legit. That's the kind of mindset we need from the state's leadership. All aboard the beatdown train or get off the tracks.

I'm looking forward to annual match ups in ATL. 2012 was the tits.

I agree. I didn't read the article before I posted that. I was for sure that cock made it up.

It's not made up.

A report from Bulldogs beat writer Marc Weiszer cites a very telling quote from Georgia Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle on the topic:
“I hope it brings us a national championship is what I hope.”

I should have gotten my arse kicked at Stats. Especially after we won.
